ModelSim's award-winning Single Kernel Simulator (SKS) technology enables transparent mixing of VHDL and Verilog in one design. In addition to supporting standard HDLs, ModelSim increases design quality and debug productivity. Simulation enables a much higher quality FPGA design before entering the lab allowing time spent during lab debug much more productive and focused. With simulation the debug loop is much faster and there is complete visibility into the signals in the design. It can take 8 hours to do a place and route just instrument additional signals or make a small bug fix. Testing in the lab has limited visibility of the signals in design. This means weeks or even months of inefficient debugging time in the lab. Many FPGA designers go to the lab before adequately vetting their design. Modelsim HDL simulator provides FPGA customers with and easy cost-effective way to speed up FPGA development, lab bring up and test. QSIM-60153 - If a component had a port that is a multi-dimensional array whose bounds depended on the component's generics and the port's actual was an expression, vcom could generate an internal error. The work around was to use a component instantiation.
QSIM-57712 - If an entity has a generic whose type depends on a previously declared generic and that entity is directly instantiated, then vsim could crash when loading the design. This can occur when at least two VHDL packages are compiled on a single command-line with the -mixedsvvh switch and, one package contains a constant declaration initialized by a function defined in the other package, and the name of the first package comes lexically before the name of the second package. QSIM-60023 - Use of the -mixedsvvh switch could result in the compiler erroneously emitting error vcom-1995, which states that a package cannot be imported into SystemVerilog designs. QSIM-57969 - (results) Using a function call without arguments in a generic map was showing syntax error incorrectly. QSIM-57830 - Using unconstrained alias signal as an actual for a port connection was leading to a crash. This change can cause simulation results to be different from previous versions. The attributes are now considered globally static, so the wait or concurrent statement is no longer sensitized to that prefix. This currently results in extra statement executions. If the prefix of the attribute is a signal and this expression appears in a wait statement with an on clause or in a concurrent statement other than a process, a change in signal value would trigger a evaluation of the wait or concurrent statement. QSIM-58539 - (results) The attributes INSTANCE_NAME and PATH_NAME, were not considered globally static. QSIM-57795 - The compiler could report a fatal internal error if it encountered a generic declaration list with an index constraint within a generic vector preceding an interface package. QSIM-57546 - If a package contains a package instance within a USE clause, static array constraints within the package instance may not be compiled correctly, possible causing a fatal internal error during elaboration of the design by the simulator. QSIM-58670 - Vsim incorrectly reported a vsim-3837 error for multiple continuous assignments to a variable when using a bit-select expression with a complex index expression SystemVerilog macros undefining and subsequently redefining a macro of the same name repeatedly during macro expansion would generate incorrect results. # ** Fatal: (vsim-3355) Variable 'struct1.enum1' cannot be converted to a net. QSIM-58023 - Using a wire type with a struct containing a field of an enum type could generate an error like Vlog would crash when parsing certain syntax constructs.
The directory must be empty for this to succeed. QSIM-55252 - The vdir command can now be given the name of an already-existing directory it will transform the directory into a Questa library. Legacy -novopt option is no longer supported Mentor, a Siemens business, is pleased to announce the availability of ModelSim 2019.4, is unified debug and simulation environment gives today's FPGA designers advanced capabilities in a productive work environment.
